After a rough few weeks it was so nice to 'rediscover' this little jewelry box. I retrieved it from the back of a shelf while looking for art supplies. I spilled parfum in this a few years back... so it has an odd enticing fragrance! White oak and vintage Histoire D'Amour. mmmmmm...
An assortment of treasures and memories awaited me. I do so love the feel of familiar things.
And this Goddess pendant that I made in 2002. Worked in sterling silver then. Wow, does she need a good polishing!!! I gave her a carnelian face... for courage. Sodalite breasts.... its one of my favorite stones... for healing, maintain emotional balance, strengthening the immune system and intuition. Black onyx arms... to embrace the deepest parts of the Universe and my Self. And turquoise from the womb to the feet..... for grounding to Earth and sky.
My dad and I bought the rough turquoise when my family lived in Arizona in the 70s. I even ground and polished that particular stone! Talk about memories! Wish I could remember what mine it was from. 2 1/2" wide by 3 3/4" long. She is a substantial little piece!
What fun! Modern angel wing earrings, nephrite jade bead necklace, MOP buttons with brass beetles on them, old brooch with an iridescent blue butterfly wing, my Australian opal triplet spider pendant (another one of my creations!), rosary, faux pearl hat pin, wolf tooth and claw earrings, moonstone pendant and more!
And Ronan pretending to be asleep. But now and then he would thrust his paw forward and try to grab a treasure for himself! chuckle
